For two nights only — 25 and 29 June, step into the awe-inspiring world of Hans Zimmer with Hans Zimmer & Friends: Diamond in the Desert, screening at The Projector Cineleisure. Presented by Trafalgar Releasing, this is more than a concert film — it’s a breathtaking dive into the music and mind of one of film’s most legendary composers.
Best known for his work on Dune, Interstellar, Gladiator, The Lion King, Inception, and The Dark Knight, Zimmer has shaped the sound of iconic films across generations. Now, you get to witness these incredible scores performed live, set against the stunning backdrop of Dubai’s deserts, domes, and arenas.
Filmed across multiple striking locations — from the 17,000-seat Coca-Cola Arena to the jaw-dropping Al Wasl Plaza dome at Expo City, and the open expanse of the Arabian Desert — Diamond in the Desert reimagines Zimmer’s music through ambitious live visuals and state-of-the-art staging.
At the heart of the film is collaboration. Directed by Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated Paul Dugdale (Adele: Live at the Royal Albert Hall, Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams), the film includes candid backstage moments, creative sessions, and personal reflections from Zimmer and his collaborators. You’ll hear from the likes of Billie Eilish, Pharrell Williams, Finneas, Sir Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, Johnny Marr, Jerry Bruckheimer, Tanya Lapointe, Zendaya, and Timothée Chalamet.
“The Hans Zimmer Live tour has been one of the most exciting experiences of my career. Bringing it back to the big screen is a full-circle moment, and this time, we invite you backstage,” the composer shares.
“It’s more than a concert," director Dugdale enthuses. "It’s a cinematic composition in itself, with Hans at the helm of sound, story, and scale.”
What makes this special isn’t just the music — it’s the storytelling. Diamond in the Desert explores how these film scores came to life, the people behind them, and how they continue to shape culture. Whether you’re a longtime Zimmer fan or simply a lover of movie magic, this one’s for you.
